Higher estrogen : Breakthrough spotting is a common side effect of most hormonal contraceptives. Occasionally women find that changing to an oral contraceptive with higher estrogen levels or step wise increases (tri-phasil) in estrogen levels helps to prevent the spotting. Talk to your Dr about a potential change in your Oral contraceptive pill.
